Politico: Trump Admin Looking to Privatize $1.6 Trillion in Federal Student Loan Debt
Politico reports the Trump administration is considering options to privatize some $1.6 trillion in federal student loan debt. Officials with the Education Department and Treasury Department have reportedly been looking for private buyers to sell off a massive portion of the federal government’s student loan debt portfolio, currently owed by an estimated 45 million people in the United States. The move would raise legal concerns and could further erode protections for borrowers as advocates continue to demand for student loan cancellation.
ACLU Accuses Trump Admin of Subjecting Immigrants to Inhumane Conditions at Angola Prison
The American Civil Liberties Union is accusing the Trump administration of intentionally subjecting immigrants to inhumane conditions at the notorious Louisiana prison known as Angola, a former slave plantation that’s recently been used to incarcerate immigrants and asylum seekers. A lawsuit filed by the ACLU Monday argues detainees are being punished for crimes for a second time — in violation of the Double Jeopardy Clause — because the government failed to deport them within six months of a removal order.
In their petition, ACLU lawyers write, “The anti-immigrant campaign under the guise of 'Making America Safe Again' does not remotely outweigh or justify indefinite detention in ’America’s Bloodiest Prison’ without any of the rights afforded to criminal defendants.”
